About NIA
National Inflation
Association
“We go where others aren’t looking and let the results speak for themselves.”
Founded by Gerard Adams · Over 15 years of independent financial research
Our Mission
The National Inflation Association was founded in early 2009, at the peak of the global financial crisis, with a simple but vital mission: to raise awareness about the dangers of inflation and help individuals protect their wealth through sound money principles, independent research, and the identification of high-potential opportunities that Wall Street ignores.
We are 100% independent with no ties to major banks, no institutional conflicts, and no agenda beyond finding the next great opportunity before the crowd does. When gold exploration stocks were trading at 2008 financial crisis valuations in early 2026, we said so loudly. When Michael Saylor was buying Bitcoin above $100,000, we warned our members. When a graphene bubble stock hit a $2.3 billion market cap on $6,000 in revenue, we called it out while pointing to a better alternative trading at a fraction of the price.
The Management Team That Never Misses
One of NIA’s most defining edges has been our early identification of billionaire Richard Warke’s Augusta Group companies, long before the broader market recognized their value. Warke is a part-owner of Fenway Sports Group (which owns the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool FC) and a part-owner of the PGA Tour. His track record of creating and selling mining companies is unmatched in the industry.

Our top 100 suggestions span every major market cycle since 2009: from Bitcoin and Ethereum before they were household names, to junior mining discoveries, to defense technology plays, to semiconductor pick-and-shovel companies. These are a few examples that define our approach.

What We Cover
NIA’s research spans far beyond traditional gold and silver commentary. Our top 50 most-read articles in the past year covered opportunities across every sector where we identified a meaningful gap between value and price.
In March 2026, when gold exploration stocks were trading at 2008 financial crisis valuations (most below $30 per oz of gold resources), NIA published what it called its most important chart in years. Within months, several of those picks had doubled or tripled. We identified the same disconnect in nickel sulphide, antimony, titanium-vanadium, and natural hydrogen before those narratives became mainstream.
We are not perma-bulls or perma-bears. When Michael Saylor was buying Bitcoin above $100,000, we warned our members. When a graphene bubble stock hit a market cap of $2.3 billion on $6,000 in revenue, we called it a fraud. When Earthlabs was trading at a 53% discount to its own cash and equity holdings, we called it one of the safest setups we had ever seen.
About Our Founder
NIA was founded by Gerard Adams in 2009. Before founding NIA, he had already begun building what would become a remarkable track record in both media entrepreneurship and independent financial analysis.
In 2012, Gerard co-founded Elite Daily, an online media platform that by capitalizing on the Facebook algorithm became the #1 most-visited media website for millennials. He owned 30% of the company and sold it to the Daily Mail in 2015 for $50 million in cash.
Gerard also founded Leaders Create Leaders, a YouTube series interviewing some of the world’s most recognized entrepreneurs and influencers, including Gary Vee, Grant Cardone, Mel Robbins, Jay Shetty, Tom Bilyeu, Ed Mylett, Lewis Howes, Ryan Holiday, Patrick Bet-David, and Jake Paul, among dozens of others.

Prior to those ventures, he produced a series of economic documentaries for NIA that collectively received tens of millions of views, including College Conspiracy, Meltup, Hyperinflation Nation, The Dollar Bubble, and Debt Slave. These videos helped introduce millions of Americans to the dangers of fiat currency debasement and the case for hard assets.
Gerard also founded Fownders, a startup accelerator in Newark, NJ focused on helping inner-city entrepreneurs launch and scale businesses. His business partner was Tony Delgado, who has since built Latino Wall Street into one of the fastest-growing financial education organizations in America, earning the title “King of Puerto Rico” from President Trump.
The Big Picture: Where We Are Now
We believe we are in the early innings of a major secular bull market for real assets, natural resources, and critical minerals, driven by the convergence of three powerful forces: the end of the dollar hegemony era, the deglobalization of supply chains, and the exponential growth of AI and defense technology that depends on metals the West does not yet produce.
Gold exploration stocks were priced at 2008 financial crisis levels as recently as early 2026. The GDXJ/GLD ratio remains historically undervalued. The United States faces the prospect of having no domestic nickel mine within years. America currently imports virtually all of its antimony from China. Heavy rare earths (essential for every F-35, every drone, and every advanced permanent magnet) are almost entirely controlled by a single country.
These are not abstract macro arguments. They are specific, identifiable, measurable gaps between what resources are worth and what the market currently prices them at. That gap is exactly where NIA does its best work.
